strength and adversity

When I look back over the past 6 months at how strong my kids have been I am just amazed and awed at their ability to accept change and face obstacles head on - we moved with less than a months' notice, we drove cross county in 4 days and arrived just days before school started, they started school living in a hotel, and then spent the next 2 months in one room while workmen tore up the house, Mara took on new graduation requirements and starting her college search over, they weathered financial strains while we paid two mortgages, and they managed two stressed out parents on top of it all. They are amazing young women.
